The government will invite universities to study the impact of migrants on the sustainability of the NHS, the health secretary said on Tuesday.
At the opening of a conference on sustainable health development, which takes place at the Belem Cultural Center in Lisbon, Ana Paula Martins explained that this work will serve to plan the system in case of a “wave of migrants” that was not expected.
At a conference to launch Nova IMS’s Sustainable Health Index, the minister admitted that the “hardest and most difficult thing” will be getting healthcare workers to want to stay on social media and defended “a change in the social media system”. organizing the work of teams.”
He said social media needs to change and those changes need to be made in a “smart and collaborative” way.
“We will only be resilient if we survive,” said Ana Paula Martins.
At the same meeting, Adalberto Campos Fernandez, who was health minister in António Costa’s government, defended a broad political commitment to health, recalling that the country must prepare for “impressive demographic changes” with “more than 10% of residents being non-citizens.”
“People seek medical help in very difficult situations,” he said.
Eurico Castro Alves, who coordinated the team that created the emergency health plan unveiled by the government last week, at the same time defended changes to the rules to allow greater flexibility in the organization of health work.
“More and more health care workers don’t want to work in the same places at the same times,” he said.
Today, a doctor, in an opinion piece published in the journal Jornal de Notícias, defends double hiring, which would put an end to the “undignified and ridiculous situation of 50% taxation on overtime work.”
“There are times when a medical worker finishes his working hours and does not feel motivated to work overtime in his hospital because he knows that if he works six hours, he will only be paid for three hours. Why not let him stay employed at your hospital through sole proprietorship, why not let him reduce the tax from 50% to 20% after a certain number of hours?” he asks.
